Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Funeral in Berlin is a 1966 film directed by Guy Hamilton, based on the spy novel by Len Deighton. It is the second of the Harry Palmer series starring Michael Caine, following The Ipcress File and itself followed by Billion Dollar Brain.Colonel Stok, a Soviet intelligence officer responsible for security at the Berlin Wall, appears to want to defect, but the evidence is contradictory. Stok wants the British to handle his defection and asks for one of their agents, Harry Palmer, to smuggle him out of East Germany.Once Palmer reaches Berlin, though, things quickly become much more complicated as at least two other factions become involved in what was meant to be a simple operation — a beautiful young woman and an old acquaintance of Harry's, who both turn out to be not who they appear to be.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Checkpoint Charlie: The Berlin Wall version. The whole thing is a Soviet setup to catch the people who smuggle out defectors.

Halfway Plot Switch: The eponymous funeral happens at the halfway point of the film. The rest of the film deals with the revelation that Vulkan is the mysterious ex-Nazi Broum, and his conflict with the Israelis.

Gambit Pileup: British Intelligence, a Russian KGB Colonel, Mossad and a Nazi war criminal are all trying to stay a step ahead of each other. Harry Palmer, the supposed Unwitting Pawn to everyone involved, was actually ahead of them from quite early on.
